Capture your browser & Mail it. It's easy

Firefox 2

I am using Mizilla FireFox for all my web browsing. Recently upgraded to Mozilla version 2. The new and enhanced version. When I was walking around the Mozilla's plugin pages I got this interesting ClipMark plugin.

With Clipmarks, we can clip the best parts of web pages. Whether it's a paragraph, sentence, image or video, we can capture just the pieces we want without having to bookmark the entire page. Not only that, and a great feature which it provided is the E-Mail. Capture it and mail!

No need of loggin to E-Mail accout;
no need of copy and save ;
no need to attach etc.

what to say with that plugin's features!!!!


Downloading & Installing the plugin

Visit Mizilla plugin page ->
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=clipmark&status=4
Download & Install- >
Restart the FireFox ->


Simple way to clip, save & mail

Click on the Clip Mark icon on the top of Browser, near the address bar.


There will be a ribbon displayed on top of the browser display area.


just choose the portion on the browser display area.


After choosing you have more option to select on the ribbon displayed by the clipMark.
It can be
* Printed
* Mailed
* Save (needs to register with clip mark for an account : free registration)
* Blog

Select any option you would like from the ClipMark ribbon. And it will get you through the way...

Download Vedio from YouTube

Many people are watching YouTube videos every day. But some are thinking to keep the videos they watch within their desktop. Although You Tube's video format does not allow to save the video directly into PC. It uses a different video format. It is not mpg, wmv, mov, dat, avi or nothing what we regularly use. Its own video format is ".FLV".

A day before I wanted to download a video from You Tube. I ran around the Google, yahoo, forums, etc. etc. to find a way. Eventually I got a way to download them. It is simple. See what I did.


The first thing that helped me is Mozilla Fire fox's Video Downloader Plugin.

I downloaded it from Mozilla Video Downloder Add-on Page.

This plugin supports to download videos from Youtube, Google, Metacafe, iFilm, Dailymotion, Pornotube... and other 60+ video sites ! And all embedded objects on a webpage (movies, mp3s, flash, quicktime, etc).

After downloading and installing this plugin Firefox adds an icon in the Task Bar bottom of the window showing Video Downloader.


The way to download Video from You Tube

  • Go to the You Tube page that contains the video that you need to download.
  • When the page is opened, Click the Video Downloader icon in the task bar.
  • The following window will appear.

(Click the image to enlarge)

  • Click the Download Link button.

The video will be downloded to the specified location when you clicked.


Now the Downlaed is complete !!!!!

Now the Video is downloaded. But it cannot be played in regular Media Players. It need a separate player and to be renamed with the extension (.FLV).

To play the Video follow the steps below.

  • Rename the downloaded file to the extension .flv(select the downloaded file -> pres F2 -> type ".flv" at the end of the file name).
  • Then Download the FLV player (This is a light weight player that need to play .flv files).
  • Download locatoion -> http://www.download.com/FLV-Player/3000-2139_4-10467081.html
  • Install it.

Now it is dOne!!

Double click your Downloaded video file or open it from FLV player.


Now the video is inside my PC. And I have player for that.
Nice!! This is what I did !!!!!

Using Tamil Key in Firefox - தமிழ் in இணையம்

Mozilla Firefox is a one of widly used web browser all over the world. Its day to day increasing features are amazing.

WOW! There are too many plugins that can be added to the browser - Mozilla Firefox. Last week I found a really good plugin. That is Tamil Key. This addon has been developed by Muguntharaj, voiceonwings, Gopi . I can ensure that it is one of very helpfull plugins to peaople who needs to use tamil language over the internet, email, searching, bloging. etc...


The easy to use way of Tamil Key

Tamil Key இன் முக்கிய அம்சங்களில் ஒன்று என்னவெனில், அதன் இலகுவான Key board பாவணைமுறையாகும். Tamil key ஆனது 5 வகையான கீ போட் மாதிரிகளைக் கொண்டுள்ளது. இதன் இந்த 5 வகைகளையும் வெவ்வேறு வகை key board பாவணையாளர்களும் தங்கள் வசதிக்கேற்றாற்போல் மாற்றிப் பாவித்துக்கொள்ளலாம்.

அனுமதிக்கப்படும் key board உள்ளீட்டு மாதிரிகள்
1. அஞ்சல்
இதன் முக்கிய அம்சமாவது, இவ்விசைப்பழகையை ஆங்கில எழுத்துக்களை type செய்யப்பயண்படுத்துவது போன்றே பயண்படுத்தலாம். உதாரணமாக,
thamiz = தமிழ்
thambi = தம்பி
suuriyan = சூரியன்
pattam = பட்டம்

2. தமிழ்99
3. பாமினி
இந்த விசைப்பலகையானது kalaham, Bamini, Kuspoo, Sarukeshi போன்ற font பாவணையாளர்களுக்கு பாவிக்க மிகவும் சுலபமான முறையிலமைந்ததாகும்.

4. பழைய தட்டச்சு

Some features that can help us..

The people who are using GMAIL can use this plugin to send mail in tamil.

ஜீ மெய்ல் பாவணையாளர்கள் இந்த plugin ஐ பயண்படுத்தி தமிழ் மொழி மூலம் இழபகுவாக ஈ மேய்ல்கள் அனுப்பலாம்.
இந்த முறை மூலம் அனுப்பப்படும் email கல் Gmail பாவிக்கும் எந்தப் பாவணையாளர்களாரளும் தமிழ் மொழி மூலமே பெற்றுப் படித்திட முடியும். இதற்கு இவர்கள் தமிழ் font install செய்திருக்க வேண்டிய அவசியமில்லை. Windows Xp, 2000 என்பவற்றில் யுனிகோட் (Unicode) எனப்படும் இந்த எழுத்துருக்கள் தானாகவே நிறுவப்பட்டிருக்கும்.
